May the Fourth Be With You

This morning I got a text from my older sister that said: "happy star wars day!"

 I was like, what the heck???  Oh yeah, May Fourth.  GOT IT. 

And then I took a few solemn minutes to ponder the effect that Star Wars has had on my life:

I thought about watching Star Wars movies when I was home sick from school.  In fact, cherry cough drops remind of Star Wars.

I thought about playing with pretend lightsabers.

I thought about putting my hair in buns over my ears.

I though about the autographed picture of Hayden Christensen my dad gave me for Christmas one year.

I thought about that time our dog was an Ewok for Halloween.

And then I thought about the summer when was about 15 and I locked myself in a room for an entire day and watched all six Star Wars movies back to back to back to back to back to back.

And then I realized why I was so lacking in swag back then.  Just kidding! I was pretty cool in those days. 

Shoutout to George Lucas for my childhood memories!  Also, thank you George, for casting Hayden Christensen as Anakin, because I kinda STILL have a crush on him. 

Oh Hayden, I would join the dark side for you....
